Reduction of Procedures and Time Schedules (“Amended Waiver Application”), filed by Dakota

2. That I am employed as the Vice President of Engineering for Dakota Access for
the Dakota Access Pipeline Project (the “Project”).
3. That on January 20, 2016, the North Dakota Public Service Commission
(“Commission”) issued its Order granting Dakota Access a Certificate of Corridor Compatibility
and Route Permit for the Project (“Order”).
4. That on April 5, 2016, Dakota Access submitted a request to the Commission for
approval of various modifications to the approved Project route and corridor in Mountrail,
Williams, McKenzie, and Dunn Counties, North Dakota as set forth in the application materials
and supporting documentation and exhibits. See PSC Docket No. 156.
5. That the modifications to the Project are a result of landowner and agency
requests, as further explained in the Amended Waiver Application.
6. That as noted in the initial affidavit in support of the Application, all owners of
the property to be crossed by the modified route have approved the proposed modifications. See
PSC Docket No. 156.
7. That as of the date of this supplemental affidavit, Dakota Access has obtained one
hundred percent (100%) of the easements necessary for the proposed modified route and
corridor.
8. That some of the easements obtained from the applicable landowners contain
confidential information. For the easements including confidential information, a memorandum
of easement was recorded with the relevant county recorder’s office instead of the easement.
When possible, the easements were filed with the relevant county recorder’s office. Attached
hereto as Exhibit H are all easements or memorandum of easements applicable to the route
modifications.
9. That Dakota Access will comply with the Commission’s orders, laws, and rules
designating the corridor and designating the route for any amendments to the corridor and route
as requested.
